  • Software development is done by developers. If you are a software engineer chances are you’re working on software infrastructure that actually apply at scales that are not “add a shopping cart to this blog”.

    There are reasons you ask a civil engineer for work.

  • It’s a good thing that Engineer is a protected profession and not everyone can claim it, like Lawyer or Doctor.

    In the US now it’s “oh you’re an engineer? Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?”

  • People who learnt structural OOP without actually understanding typing system and their benefits really struggle with learning Rist as they try to map classes onto structs and it just doesn’t work.

    Traits are not inheritance. Box is not polymorphism. Rust is not C++ with more keywords.

  • That’s a deep misunderstanding of how that number came to be. He wasn’t paid 193 millions. He was paid something like 6 millions.

    The rest is shares that he got and kept through the whole period. When you setup a company you create a number of shares that founders buy (with most kept on the side for investors). As you grow so do those shares value, and you’re also granted some as bonus/salary/et . At 10B those share are worth 190 millions. If Reddit would be worth 1 billion those shares would be 19 millions.

    Basically he owns about 2% of Reddit.

    Almost every IPO in history has resulted in a significant drop in value on the first weeks as early investors drop their shares on the market and hype goes down. I would be surprised if Reddit loses half of its value in the first month alone. It is much less bullish than a lot of other recent IPOs.

  • Neural engines are coming to basically all CPUs. It won’t be long before you can run your own girlfriend offline on your phone. Training the data is the expensive part after all. I can already run basic llama 2B on my iPad, though offloading the software instead of just downloading off the App Store.

    I’m fairly sure anyone with a good GPU can also run these, but I haven’t tried.

  • Companies were doing that with NFTs (which is what you’re describing) but now nobody want to touch an NFT so those companies definitely went bust.

    The best case will be companies who can hide the crypto behind the product, like “give us 5$ and we’ll give you 5 read-a-tokens which is totally not crypto btw”. Or wait a couple of years for crypto to come back in vogue.

  • I think you can charge per article on substack. Not entirely sure though.

    Some newspaper charge X$ for Y articles, I think the NYTimes do it or used to. It’s usually a horrible deal compared to monthly subscription, but I think that’s the point.
